2008's first Raisbeck Engineering Authorized Dealer meeting draws global interest

March 18, 2008 - Seattle, Washington, USA

On February 29th, Raisbeck Engineering hosted nearly two dozen representatives from Authorized Dealerships around the globe for its technical and sales seminar. Representatives from the United States, Canada, South America and Europe convened in Seattle for three days of informative lectures and conversations held with Raisbeck Engineering employees.

During the reception following Friday night’s dinner, top 2007 Authorized Raisbeck Dealer awards were presented. Of the five winners, three were in attendance: Hawker Beechcraft Services (HBS) in Wichita, Kan., Duncan Aviation in Lincoln, Neb., and Scandinavian Aircraft Technologies (Scantech) in Denmark.

“Hawker Beechcraft Services, Wichita is thrilled to be one of the top Raisbeck dealers of 2007. This plaque and the incredible 50" flat-screen TV we have been awarded will be proudly displayed at our facility for all of our employees to enjoy,” said Chip Rappold, Regional Sales Manager for HBS Wichita. “By attending discussions with the sales and engineering groups of Raisbeck and networking with the other dealers, I've had an invaluable learning opportunity. It truly was a worthwhile event and I look forward to the next one I'm invited to.”

The Saturday seminar was informative for both Raisbeck and its Authorized Dealers, and included discussions and ideas of how to further each other’s mutual goals, satisfying customers' needs and making money. The first Raisbeck Authorized Dealer Meeting was held in 1982 and have run continuously ever since. Three additional meetings in Seattle are scheduled later this year.

“It’s a great chance to sit down one-on-one with the heart and soul of our operation, our dealer network, and find out what they think,” said Scott Keefe, Sales Manager for King Air Performance Systems. “Feedback is essential, and the relationships we build prove that the weekend is invaluable to our success.”
